Biz: The Chevy Volt: Not cheap, but the lease price isn’t too bad
- $41k the amount it costs to purchase GM’s hope, the new Chevy Volt
- $33.5k the amount it costs after the federal tax credit kicks in
- $350 the amount a monthly lease costs (that’s reasonable!) source
- » Why GM should be worried: Their electric car is going to compete directly with the Nissan Leaf, which far less in its least expensive configuration, $32,780, or $25,280 after the credit. On the plus side for GM, the leases are nearly the same price – $349 for Nissan vs. $350 for GM.
